The All Progressives Congress (APC) United Kingdom Chapter has congratulated the National Chairman of the party, Prof. Nentawe Yilwatda, and his wife, Dr. Martina Nentawe Yilwatda, on the conferment of the distinguished Tiv traditional chieftaincy title ZEGEBAR-U-TIV.
The honour was bestowed on Saturday, 13th December, by His Royal Majesty, Orchivirigh Prof. James Ortese Iorzua Ayatse, the Tor Tiv, on behalf of the Tiv Traditional Council.
In his remarks following the conferment, Prof. Yilwatda expressed deep humility and gratitude, describing the recognition as a rare and meaningful honour. He noted that the title represents more than personal recognition and stands as a powerful symbol of unity, brotherhood, and enduring bonds among the peoples of Plateau and Benue States, as well as the wider Middle Belt.
He further conveyed profound appreciation to the Tiv nation for the gesture of trust and affection, stating that the honour strengthens his resolve to continue promoting peaceful coexistence, national unity, bridge-building, and community development across Nigeria.
The APC UK Chapter described the conferment as a fitting recognition of Prof. Yilwatda’s commitment to service, leadership, and nation-building, noting that the honour reflects his growing stature as a unifying figure within the party and the country.
The Chapter congratulated Prof. and Dr Yilwatda on the prestigious traditional title and wished them continued wisdom, strength, and success in their service to the nation.
